The Youngblood is a new series of comics from Alan Moore and Rob Liefeld. While some of the comics in this series are quite dark, they have a lot of humor in them. So what are some of the main things you should know about this comic?
Alan Moore’s Youngblood
Alan Moore’s Youngblood is a comic book series. It started in the late 90s. The first issue was a two-story anthology. Image Comics released it.
It has several dozen characters. One of them is a former FBI agent named Shaft. Other characters include a teenage boy, Badrock. Another member is an assassin by the name of Chapel.
There are several crossovers between the Youngblood and other Image Comics titles. The “Rage of Angels” crossover included issues #6, 7, and 9. Issues #9 and 17 appeared in a crossover called Extreme Sacrifice.
Alan Moore’s first Youngblood issue was an interesting one. It was a “prologue” that set up the central premise of the series.
Rob Liefeld’s Youngblood
Youngblood is a comic book series created by Rob Liefeld. It was first published by Image Comics in 1992.
Youngblood is a team of superheroes who are funded by the government. Various creators have relaunched and rebooted the series over the years. The latest incarnation is being written by Chad Bowers and illustrated by Jim Towe.
Originally, the team was based on Teen Titans characters. In the 1990s, they were licensed to various toy companies. Later, they became an official government team. But the character never gained critical approval.
After Image Comics took over Youngblood, the character was revived several times. Most recently, the comic was announced as being picked up by Netflix.
Aborted Arc: The 08′ series
The best way to describe the ill-fated 2008 Youngblood series was a slog. Its one major drawback was its overrated cast of characters. To make matters worse the series had a number of notable mishaps during its short-lived run. This included the usual suspects, an unnecessarily large amount of sex slamming, and a slew of incompetent villains that would have been a lot less if the series had not gone to press. And if the series had not ended there might have been a slew of majors to name, but alas, the aforementioned axessories have made for a rather tense living situation.
Relaunches
Earlier this year, the Youngblood comic book reboot was announced. This relaunch will pick up where the original series ended, retaining the legacy numbering and characters while updating the storyline. It’s a long-awaited revival for the infamous super team, and it’s being written by John McLaughlin, who’s a newcomer to the world of comics.
The original series was published by Image Comics, and it began in the early 90s. The series was helmed by writer/artist Rob Liefeld.
The Youngblood team included Shaft, a former FBI agent, and the government assassin, Chapel. They also had a teenage boy in a rock monster body named Boisterous Bruiser.
Spin-offs
The Youngblood is a spin-off of the popular Wolfenstein franchise. It is a co-op title that takes players on a mission to save their father. However, it does not follow in the tradition of the mainline series, which features an open world and a strategic approach to battling Nazis. Instead, Youngblood has an arcade-style approach to gunplay.
There are five missions that players must complete in order to succeed. Players can also play through the game with an AI partner, which is a novelty for a title in the Wolfenstein universe.
In addition to the co-op gameplay, Youngblood adds an RPG system to the mix. This allows for more diverse weapon builds.
Crossovers
Youngblood is an American superhero team, funded by the US government, which does covert black ops for the government. They are made up of former FBI agent Shaft, former criminal gang member Boisterous Bruiser, teenage boy in a rock monster body, and Russian fashion model Vogue. The team also includes a government assassin named Chapel.
In the early 1990s, Rob Liefeld revived the concept of the Youngblood team. The new incarnation of the team featured new characters like Dutch and Masada. Issues were published on a monthly basis, with a different lineup of the “Away Team” for each issue.
In May 1995, Image comics launched a series called Team Youngblood, starring an altered lineup of the “Away Team”. The first issue was part of a crossover event called Extreme Sacrifice. This was the beginning of a new era of cross-company crossovers.
